Making a Change

Matthew 4: 18-20 “As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him.”

Looking for a Christian Fiction novel to read several months ago, I remembered an author whose books I had enjoyed in the past.

I hadn’t heard anything about her in a long time.

I was curious as to why, so I Googled her.

Come to find out, she had stopped writing. She explained that God had led her to a different ministry.

A successful author, leaving her profession to follow God’s plan for her life reminded me of a story in the book of Matthew. Without hesitation, some fishermen are called to leave their nets and follow Jesus–and they do.

Is God calling you to make a change in your life . . .asking you rethink the direction you’re going in today, and follow His plan for you??

A Match Made in Heaven

Matthew 4:19– “And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Someone asked how I keep thinking of Bible verses to use in my blog. Well, I said, “It’s easy. There are 31,101 of them!”

Another reader asked which I select first, the verse or the story/example? It happens both ways. For instance, yesterday, I was looking through some old photos. I came across one of my grandfather and myself holding up a nice-sized trout. How that man loved to fish!

My grandfather taught Sunday school. He was a living example of being a fisher of men. He preferred the boys in his Junior High class. “Catch them while they’re young and they’ll have a lifetime to live for Jesus,” he’d often say. 

He loved to tell stories. Boys loved hearing them. You could say it was a match made in Heaven.
